In particular, many Epic (purple) quality items are now more powerful than slower Superior (blue) weapons. Two-handed weapons: 3.3 (this means the 2.1 speed of Brain Hacker is considered 3.3 and so is the damage range when using an instant attack)Īs a direct result of this, many weapons have shifted position in their relative power. Instead of multiplying by the speed of the weapon, the attack power bonus is now multiplied by a fixed number pulled from the following table: This change does NOT affect attack power calculations for normal melee attacks.
